Of the Ledger.
Rush HILL, Mo-, Sept. 1S.-The
late rains seem to have given new
life to business as we'll as to vegeta-
tion.
The ground is in fine order and
farmers are plowing for wheat and
the indications are that there will be
more wheat sown this fall than US
ual.
On account of the drouth the corn
crop in Linn township will not be
over half a crop. Wheat was good,
and oats and fiax were never better.
There is large quantity Of broom
corn raised here, but it will fall q
little below an average crop this
year. 1t is in good shape.

Passed off Pleasantly.


In decorating Mexico tor the con-
federate reunion several persons
were going to hang portraits OF
Cleveland over the line of march,
but at the request of Major Ricketts,,
chairman of the ex-Confederste COM
mittee, they refrained as the com
mittee determined not to have any
thing that would be distastefui to
either the blue or the gray. We are
waiting anxiousIy now for the repub-
lican press to work this up into some
sort Of an outrage. The task looks
hopeless, but TuttIe OF al, ought to
be equal to the emergency.

COUNT THE COST ,

The Mexico LEDGER quotes our
observation that out Of the five news
papers in Audrain county two have
declared for local option, and adds:
(which ones are for closing the sa-
loons?" That question may not en-
ter into this agitation, but il the
LEDGER wants to know where the
Herald stands we can easily give it
the information. We are opposed to
the saloon, and for the home. That
is the sum and substance of this
fight. The influence of the saloon
is against the best interests Of socie-
ty, and we believe in its entire aboli-
ton. We have not counted the cost
Of so sweeping statement, but We
feel certain that our readers have al
ways understood our position on this
all important question, and we are
sure they will give us due credit for
the expression of an honest opinion.
The question of the saloon and its
influence has been weighed in the
balance by the best men and women,
in all the vocatlons, all over our
country and is found wanting. There
are none who can rise up and call it
blessed. As regards local option,
we after all there is to be gained by
it, but we suppose the LEDGER will
find it more Democratic and Repub-
lican-more popular We mean-to
not really oppose the submission OF
the question to vote but to oppose
every vote after it is submitted. -
Laddonia Herald.
One thing is certain, the LEDGEB
will always "count the cost" before
it takes a position on any public
question and the Herald acknowledges
it has not.

about it-that with all of their boast

Bsecklnrldge's speech. The speech
was extemporaaeous and the short

A Grand Occasion,


The Confederate reunion which
took place at Mexico, Mo-, ON the
14th and 18th of this month was one
of the happiest and grandest in the
history of the organization. The
crowd was variously estimated at
from 1000 to 40. 900 and was made
up of as fine a looking body Of men.
representing both of the great armies,
as were ever assembled together,
with the wives and sons and daugh-
ters of both sides and citizens from
far and near. The utmost cordislity
and good fellowship was the charac-
teristic and notable feature Of the
occasion, and would have put to
shame the hatites who would still
keep alive the bitterness of the war il
they had noted groupss0f Yanks and
Johnny Rebs regaling each other with
their incidents and experiences on
the one side and the other. We
cannot but mention with thanks and
gratitude, the open handed whole
souled hospitality of the good people
of the beautiful little city of Mexico,
who had done everything, and left
nothing undone, that could contri-
butte to the pleasure and comfort OF
the occasion. The address delivered
by Gen. Breckinridge of Louisville
KY, who was the orator of the day,
was statesman-like and conservative
and showed him to be not only a
scholarly and, profound thinker but
an orator of the very brightest and
most pleasing type. The lesson
which he showed we might gather as
the fruit of the war ought to be un-
derstood everywhere.
